What is your point? Trying to compare a late model only race with a race with the top three dirt divisions at one track, what do you expect? Add in there is a much larger population base surrounding Charlotte than Knoxville, of course you’re going to have more fans at Charlotte.

Not sure where you are getting 3000 fans, do you have some insight into the attendance or the gate receipts for Knoxville? As far as the racing goes, it has been consistently very good each year and the series, track, fans, and drivers all seem to be perfectly satisfied.

Charlotte was overflowing when they had The Colossal which, by the way, I hear will be reinstated.

I saw what everyone else saw and the attendance was poor, in my opinion, for a high dollar race.

Last year I went to the Knoxville Nationals Sprint Car Race. When I got there, all the grandstand seats were sold out. I had to get a pit pass to see the race and watch the race from the infield. Knoxville is Sprint Car Country.

thats like comparing a brickyard nascar race crowd to indy 500 crowd. its not gonna be the same and the massive stands will make it look smaller everytime

This conversation comes up every year.

Front stretch seating capacity almost 13,000. Back stretch about 7,400. There are 33 VIP Suites. Total including suites about 20,300. Looks empty at times but there are more people there than you think.

Math is not your strong suit I see.

Ok next time I'll include the change as if it makes a rats a$$.

Pretty good comparison for this situation. The visual is an eye sore that gets shown on TV but they must be attracting enough butts every year to keep bringing it back or someone somewhere has enough money that they don't care to piss away some.

Has anybody thought that maybe starting this event 5 days after the World 100 ends keeps a lot of the traveling late model crowd away? Unless you are retired, most people have limited vacation, and taking 2-3 days off work back-to-back weeks is tough for most. And the World will always get the nod if you had to choose, unless you just lived so much closer to Knoxville.

If definitely keeps some CARS away....
